GLOBALE: Palace Light Projections

© Maxin10sity
One of the highlights of the Karlsruhe city birthday festivities will be the »Schlosslichtspiele«, a nightly series of light shows curated as part of the GLOBALE, which will illuminate the entire southern facade of the Karlsruhe Palace with lavish projections accompanied by sound installations. The »Schlosslichtspiele« are a cooperation of KA300 and the ZKM. The project is sponsored by Sparda-Bank Baden-Württemberg eG.​

The castle is located at the center of the fan shape that underlies the Karlsruhe city plan. With its expansive grounds and the surrounding park, it represents one of the most important architectural attractions in Karlsruhe. The Schlosslichtspiele now place it center stage in a special way. Over a duration of four months, various renowned artists and artist groups will present their light projections after dark. Advanced video mappings allude to the facade, the building, and the city – creating surprising and overpowering visual forms and narratives. Special attention will be paid to the interaction between the audience and the play of lights. Games and movements will coordinate them in a choreography conceptualized by the artists.
